So, I couldn't remember if we had a thread like this in the past (I think we did on SSC). Regardless, I think it's long overdue to have a new thread that's just a catch-all for everything else Chicago. I'll start by posting the recently released Chicago Michelin list and Bib Gourmand list of Restaurants. Overall, a good year for Chicago (especially with the Bib Gourmand, although we are still distinctly lacking 3 star Michelin rankings).
